I got call from this number today. I was told the deposit is &700 to receive the &7000. grant.

I just got a call and was told to call Max Williams at 202-738-1068 told me I was to receive 7000.I asked why am I calling you , the previously caller told me it was Bank of America. When I asked why am I calling you he hung up on me.BIG SCAM Don;t give them your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the same call told me to call 2027381068

Always remember, if it sounds to good to be true, its not true. these people try to make it sound legit to make you belive it . There is no free lunch.

yesterday (February, 25) I got a phone call from 202-738-1068 the guy said that me and 700 others have been picked from the government to be rewarded to receive 7,000 from the government. The guy told me my address and asked if it was still right, he asked me for my age. he said there are many ways I can receive this money and asked me to pick one, I told him I would like it in cash. he gave me a number to verify who I was and told me to go to the nearest Walmart or gas station and get AGreen Dot card and put 310.00 on it for a security deposit, the call them back and ask for Max Williams. My mom and older sister told me that it was probably a scam. my sister called the number back and told him that are dad was an police officer and he was going to check in to this. after that he didn't answer the phone. This morning (February, 26)  I called the number back to see if this Max William guy would answer, but this time a lady answered and for my number to verify that I'm the right person and she told me that the guy (Max William) who holds my case file was busy at this moment. she told me how to send the money and I asked her if this was a scam and she unhappily answered that they worked for the government and that my money was on hold until I gave them the 310.00. At this point I thought it was legit and was about to got to the gas station and do it. my mom said it was a 50/50 shot, as I got ready to go do it, something told me to type the number in to google and see what comes up, so I did and all these comments came up. Now I'm glad that I didn't send out any money and I thank god for google. I was one happy person when they told me that I won 7,000 dollars, but to find out that it was all one big scam is pretty disappointing.

"....HE TOLD ME TO GO TO WALMART AND GET AGREEN DOT CARD AND PUT 310.00 ON...."

"....HE SAID OUR GOV. IS NOT A TAX FREE STATE AND WE HAD TO PAY THE TAXES ON 7000.00 WHICH WAS 805.00 SO WE DONE A STUPID THING AND BOUGHT ANOTHER GREEN DOT CARD...."

Wow, Ernest!
I'm going to be really blunt here, and hope that you and others can learn something from this.

I guess you're just lucky that he didn't tell you to take your pencil and stick it through your eyeball into your brain.
You really have been the sucker that every scammer is always looking for. You are out $1115, and I can guarantee that you will NEVER see a penny of the $7000 that the scammer promised you. That's a very expensive lesson.
Unfortunately, the rest of us have to put up with endless phone calls from scammers who are hunting for a sucker like you. You just paid his rent for the month.

The question to ask yourself now is "What did I learn from this mistake?"
If you can't do that, it's time to ask a judge to appoint a conservator to protect your interests.

Received a telephone call from an unidentified caller ((202) 621-5429 telling me the US Government will be sending me a one in a life-time grant in the amount of $7,000, for being a good tax payer, having no criminal record and having a good relationship with the US government. The caller asked me to confirm my home address and my age. The caller also told me that I had the option of receiving money by direct deposit to my bank account, credit card or cash. Then the caller continued on by providing with an Grant ID number MH304 and that I needed to call back the (202) 738-1068 number to speak with his manager Maxi William. When I called the number (202) 738-1068 ext. 109, the call was answered by a person identified himself as Max William. Max William again asked me to confirm my name and address in order to send the money.The he placed me on hold for approximately 15 minutes to give me further instructions as to how I was to retrieved the money.  He stated that I could pick up the money at any Western Union but that I needed to make a security deposit of $310.00 (processing fee) for the grant but before I made the deposit I needed to call him back so he could provide me with the  information as to where I was going to wire transfer the $310.00. I asked Max William who was the Director of his office and he told that Mark Bowmen, was the Director of The Federal Government Grant Health and Human Services in Washington, DC.

My caller wants me to call this # in order to receive a 7,000.00 grant from the government,

Thank you for giving that info!!! This is a scam and think we are stupid enough to give them money.

I got that same call today and was told the exact same thing. $7000. The lady said  17,000 people were chose by the Govt. to receive this grant money who are low income and paid their bills on time and have had no bankruptcies in the last 6 months. She gave me Max Williams (speaks an Asian accent) phone number 202-738-1068 and he gave me the same instructions to go to Western Union Bank to deposit $320 security deposit in order to receive the grant money in the total amount of $7320. I'M NOT STUPID .....GUESS I SOUNDED THAT WAY TO HIM!!! Why would I pay to receive money. I was given 3 options to get the money too.... cash, my personal bank account or MC/VISA card.

I was told to send $320 through western union and to call back once I got to the place to get the info to send it I think for my own amusement due to boredom I'm going to call back in a hour and just mess with this guy maybe talk for 30 mins or so an then tell him the FBI has a trace locked on them and on their way lol

I just got this call as well had to call a max Williams I humored the guy mainly for my own amusement that and so the wonderful little app I have on my phone could record the conversation lol now who should be contacted to report this scam? He wanted me to give him $320 in order to varifiy my identity before the $7000 could be wired this had me laughing you can't get money wired and receive it on a Visa card instead of cash

I received a call today from 3179798562 a foreigner by the name of Rocky said my name and number was chosen by the government to receive $7.000 free and clear money... I would not give him any information concerning my bank/credit card number. he told me to call 2027381068 and give them code CA909 and that persons name is Max Williams...that I was suppose to go to a western union to get the money. I don't trust these foreigner..They have move to the US to destroy the citizens. They have already rob our economy and everything else.. I was scammed once but I won't be scammed anymore..

I got call from the 202-621-5429, the lady named Jenny Miller she told me I can receive $7000 grant money for my education, and told me call back another number at 202-738-1068, the guys name was Max William, he instruct me to go to Western Union Bank to deposit $320 security deposit in order to receive the grant money in the total amount of $7320.
it sounds too good to be true! I am not doing it, it sound like scam!

Got the same call today.  When asked how I wanted my money, I told them that if this was government funds then it should come in a check.  She said I would have to call 202-738-1068 and discuss.  When I called the number it rang approximately 10 times until someone aswered by just saying "hello". When I questioned the man as to why he would answer a "businee" hello...he simply hung up.

I received the same phone call around 10 minutes ago.  She said that I could receive the $7,000 if I gave them my bank account information or credit card information.  needless to say I had a very negative response to those methods.  I told her to send me a certified check to my PO Box.  She said that they are unable to do that.  She then said that I should call 202-738-1068 and tell them I want the money delivered in cash via courier.

She sounded like she was in one of the busiest bus stations in a major city, because of all the background noise.

I'm going to call that number and see what happens...

Got a call yesterday from a lady saying I am receiving a grant that the government issued to thousands of people. I was told it was tax free and I would never have to repay it. She said the only request they make is that it not be used for gambling or anything that is not beneficial. They requested it be used for educations, home inprovements, etc. I told her they have no way of knowing what people spend the money on. She said you can spend it on whatever you want we are just making the request on how to spend it. She said it could be delivered into a bank account, on a debit or credit card, or cash. I said there is no way they are going to send grant money in cash to anyone. She said well they will put it on a cash card. She said she needed to verify I am who I am. My name was verified because when she called she asked for me by first and last name. She gaved my address and phone number and asked if this was correct. I simply told her you called me you so you have my phone number. She gave me a number she said was verification of the grant and a phone number she said was an accountant phone number, 202-621-5429, I needed to call to discuss how I want the grant sent to me. I called this number several times to see what happens. The first time I called it rang about 20 times and I hung up. I called several more times because she said if no one answers keep trying. After about 5 - 7 rings I get a busy signal.
